HD Moore, Rapid7's chief security officer -- a firm which assists businesses in identifying vulnerable elements in their infrastructure -- believes that Java has made a number of devices, including anything running on Mac OS X, Linux or Windows, vulnerable to attack.

Java was responsible for 50 percent of all cyber attacks last year in which hackers broke into computers by exploiting software bugs, according to Kaspersky.
